How to watch All 4 outside UK

With the arrival of the "on Demand" option, following our favourite TV shows and series became significantly easier. We could watch them whenever we had some free time, in spite the fact that they were aired while we were busy, and we could watch them again, whenever we felt like it. Indeed, entertainment programs have become a common part of our lifestyle, thus we felt a bit sad once we are in the situation in which we are prevented from incorporating those "rituals" in our daily routine. Thanks to high speed internet, our shows were accessible almost anywhere, provided we had a Wi-Fi connection. Nowadays, the problem emerges when we leave the UK and thus, we become unable to access the server service, if we would like to watch Channel 4 on demand. However, even that is no longer an issue, for there are ways to watch your favourite All 4 shows regardless of your location. The following articles will contain certain hacks on how to stream your All 4 entertainment content, even if you are in a foreign country.

Watch All 4 outside UK

So, due to different server locations, the services of All 4 are unavailable in different countries, meaning you need to find a way to trick your All 4. A Smart DNS or domain name system serves the purpose of concealing your location, therefore allowing the streaming device to access on demand content. You needn't worry about the internet speed, since only a small version of your traffic will be sacrificed or redirected, as the smart DNS works its magic. Furthermore, all streaming devices are compatible with smart DNSs and can be set up easily. It is possible however, that ISPs will use methods like DNS hijacking as well as Transparent Proxies in order to prevent your DNS from operating. Additionally, even though DNS codes are free and can be easily found online, they are either have a "small life span" or can reign havoc to your streaming device. There are also cheap solution which also offer a 7-day free trial, and perhaps it would be wiser to try out some of those codes, considering the safety of your computer can be compromised.

Naturally, like many other things in the world, even this can be solved. While the All 4 player is an online service allowing you to watch TV shows only inside the UK, and this exclusivity is directly related to the IP address that you have, unless it is originating from the UK, you won't get pass this security. Although this seems hard, unblocking All 4 content is extremely easy with the use of a VPN. VPN is short for Virtual Private Network, which will allow you to overcome the problem of your current location and access ITV content from anywhere in the world.

Watch with a Virtual Private Network (VPN)

Unlike masking your IP address via means of smart DNS, a virtual private network or VPN like Zoog VPN allows you to actually change the IP address. All you need to do is set up a VPN on the device you use for streaming and select a UK VPN server. There are many perks of using this option, not just the ability to stream shows when you are out of the country. In fact, it is much safer in general and better to have a VPN. Once you access the server, you will get a British IP address. In other words, all the services that are geo-restricted will be unlocked for you - not only TV shows and series. In addition to Channel 4, the UK VPN server will allow you to unblock the services of BBC's iPlayer, ITV Player, Now TV, Channel 5, UK Netflix, itv Player, as well as other UK internet channels. Bear in mind that you will experience a 10% speed reduction, but as a result, your traffic will be encrypted, rendering websites unable to track you. DNS Hijacking and Transparent proxies will have no effect, and will not stop the VPN from functioning. Finally, installing a VPN is pretty simple, even if your have no experience in the field, so there is no reason why not to choose it as a solution for the problem.

Platforms

All 4 streaming services are available on the following streaming platforms: Windows, Android, Mac/PC, Apple iPhone and iPad, Roku, Now TV, YouView, Skybox, TiVo, Xbox One and Xbox 360, PS3 and PS4, Samsung and Panasonic Smart TV. It truly has a platform diversity and it should, since content that good deserves to be widespread, and it is only reasonable that, when we are prevented from enjoying the content, we should go an extra mile and remove the obstacle created by geo-location. DNS and VPN are both efficient solutions for the removal of that obstacle.
